'Canadian civil society has a responsibility to fight the illegal Israeli blockade of Gaza and to expose the Canadian government's unjustified support for Israel,' the coalition, which calls itself Canada Boat Gaza, said in a statement on its website. 'The time has come to send a Canadian boat to challenge the blockade of Gaza, in coordination with similar international efforts.'
The postal workers union joined the effort after Canada Post announced earlier this month that it is suspending outgoing mail service to Gaza because its Israeli counterpart said delivery to the region was 'unavailable.'"
